Working at an office....

Sooo.. besides the fact that I am sitting down for about 9 hours a day in a desk, working at an office is not the best thing when you are attempting to commit to healthy eating habits. Boredom makes you think you are hungry, eating in front of your computer makes you think you are hungry, and everyone at the office brings everything they dont want to eat themselves to share with the rest of us.. NOT COOL! If you dont want to eat it dont buy it, but certainly dont bring it to the office so the rest of us "have" (trust me, sometimes it is impossible to resist) to eat it.

Because it is hard to comprehend the extent to which these people sabotage my diet on a daily basis I have taken pictures of all of the available goodies that people brought in ONE SINGLE DAY. Yes people! this is all from the same day. Enjoy... and try not to drool all over your keyboard...

Sour cream coffee cake.... soooooo gooddd

Donuts

Truffles

Cookies

cupcakes

Coffee

Madelaines (not sure how to spell it). Thought these would be a safe choice so I ate this all day long, later on I realized that there are like 120 calories on each one... and they are sooo tinyyyy

I know what you are thinking! It is like being surrounded by temptation all the time. Somedays I manage to stay away from it all . Others I fail completely! It is sooo hard! Need to work on my will power a little more... Well actually... a LOT MORE!

Good nite!!! :)

First EVER Post... What you need to know about me!

Good night world!
This is my first post ever in my brand new blow "The Broccoli Diaries"! So excited. So let me tell you a little bit about myself. I am a 21 year old living in the NY/NJ area. Moved up here from Tampa, FL where I went to college. Can I hear a GO BULLS?! I graduated with a degree in finance and economics from the University of South Florida where I was also a member of the golf team! Being a student athlete was INTENSE, but it got me into fitness and gave me the tools I needed to get into shape.

I am on my first ever big girl job here. It is an office job so I try to stay active as much as I possibly can. Even if that means I wake up at 5:30 every morning and head to the gym before work. I also take advantages of the fitness classes offered by my company's gym so I try to get moving during my lunch break or after work too!

I started cooking very recently and either I am very good, or my taste buds are still in college mode and LOVE everything I put into my mouth! I bring lunch to work everyday and eat in as much as I can because during the weekend I spend most of my paycheck on SUSHIIIIIII (drool on my keyboard)! Ohh yeah you must know that I am absolutely obsessed with Broccoli. I eat a bag of steamed frozen brocolli everyday and I LOVE it. I wonder if I will ever get tired of it.

The reason I am starting the blog is to have a network of friends who will keep me accountable to my fitness training and eating habits! Its hard when you have the will power of a 3 year old! I want to share my strengths, weaknesses, and challenges with all of you! I want to share my tips and get some in return!

I am aware that as of right now I have absolutely no followers but maybe someone will stumble across my page in the middle of the night and start following me? Hey! A girl can dream!! Goodnight world!
